Family. Fresh. Local.
Meet Jordan. She’s been to the Farm a few times before to help pick carrots, oranges, and to pick up pumpkin seedlings. Over the weekend, her mom purchased some produce, including plums, from the Farm. Earlier today, Lindsay got a picture text from her mom Suzanne with one simple question: “Do you think Jordan liked the plums?”
Looks like the answer is a definite YES. Glad Jordan liked the plums so much. And we love her outfit, by the way.
Happy first day of Summer! And on this wonderful first day of summer, here’s a “porch check” for what we have ready:
Tuesday morning Porch Check: Peaches are ripe and delicious, and the apricots are almost gone. We have a small supply of plums ripe now, and the tomatoes are about a week away. We have lots of zucchini, onions, beans, garlic, blood oranges, grapefruit, and cucumbers. Hope to see you on the Farm!
Well, our peaches are *almost* ready. What a wacky year it has been for our stone fruit. The winter season is the most important season for peaches & apricots, and this winter was a wild one. Really cold, then really hot, then lots of rain, then more hot/cold indecision… our poor trees didn’t really know what to think of it all. We had trees trying to wake up in the dead of winter which can spell doom for the summer crop. Through it all, our trees persevered, and although it’s a little later than we are used to – normally our peaches and apricots are ready in the beginning of June – our crop is JUST ABOUT ready.
We’re thinking that by Sunday or Monday we’ll have our peaches and apricot harvest in full swing. So like always, feel free to come by the Farm to check out what we have ready, or give us a call to check. We should have plenty of squash, garlic, onions, blood oranges, zucchini, green beans, and tangerines ready for purchase. Fresh organic produce – what a great summer treat!
Porch Check update: our porch produce stand will be having a “soft opening” next weekend. Here’s some of what we should have ready: zucchini, crookneck squash, green beans, grapefruit, blood oranges, acorn squash, giant onions, garlic, and tangerines. Hopefully, the corn and peaches will be ready (fingers crossed!). Hope to see you at the Farm!
